Eltics “Black Fox” Thermal Mimicry System
Sunday, February 5th, 2012The Israeli defense technology firm Eltics recently released an interesting video explaining Black Fox, an “active, adaptive multi-spectral 
stealth technology” that does “thermal image shaping”, built to act as a sort of cloak for armored vehicles. Not necessarily an invisibility/chameleon cloak, per se, but something that allows the vehicles to look like something else, i.e. to make a Humvee look like an Abrams, or an Abrams look like an M1078 LMTV.
This isn’t the first time such measures have been taken. Similar static systems have been used by Tactical Deception organizations for many years. However, this is the first time we have seen this technology applied to a mobile platform. Such mimicry or ‘disinformation’ has obvious tactical advantages (or even strategic: remember Patton’s fake army prior to Operation Overlord?).
This is an Eltics video posted by Defense Update.

ADS Reveals Camo Expertise
Tuesday, January 31st, 2012
ADS Inc never stops surprising us. Over time, we’ve come to know about their Ghostex program and their work with HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp on specialized camouflage patterns for Afghanistan. Most recently, they’ve teamed with Guy Cramer to win as spot as finalists in the US Army’s most ambitious camouflage improvement effort to date.
Now, they’ve launched a new section of their website dedicated to all of their camouflage programs. Not only will you see some better images of their US4CES-Delta patterns that we revealed here on SSD during SHOT Show, but they also reveal additional information on their Army-finalist Alpha family of patterns as well as some a few of the variants from the Ghostex Advanced Camouflage System.
Last, but certainly not least, ADS has been a prime supplier of critical clothing and equipment in the US Army’s Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern (OCP), commercially known as MultiCam. Both FREE and ECWCS Gen III are provided by ADS Inc and they have adopted both environmental clothing systems for issue in OCP.
ADS has informed me that they plan on adding to the camo section of the website as new information becomes available. In particular, we are looking forward to seeing additional Ghostex patterns as well as a glimpse of what their Army candidate patterns will look like on ACUs and OCIE. It is definitely worth taking a look at what they have going on.
